Facebook is heavily pushing right-wing content into my feed again. Not "Sponsored" content, I mean all my "Suggested for You" suddenly is Republican elected officials and far-right influencers. Mark "Pervert-Glasses" Zuckerberg has his thumb on the scale because of the mid-term elections, I guess

A beautiful friendship, like Bonnie & Clyde, or Leopold & Loeb

I'll be in my office.

I get the Fetterletter, too. I notice that all of the events in this month's missive were attended by his staff --- not by him.

It must be a thankless job, working for him. But he found time to get his picture taken with Dave McCormick

It looks like it went out of business in 2020.

Starting World War III is hard work!

New from Eric Benet 💃🏾

Riker constantly getting hassled by uptight cops who are threatening to pull his private-detective license, and doing J-turns in his personal shuttle craft to get away from bad guys. He keeps his phaser in a cookie jar in the kitchen

Every episode, Riker smoking exotic meat and then he and Troi going at it like bunnies. And they solve crimes. I'm thinking "McMillan and Wife," but on the planet Nepenthe.

Hive mind: Do I know anyone from the #CarnegieMellon class of 1996 who's coming to Pittsburgh for their reunion next month?

A reminder: ICE didn't leave Minnesota. The media isn't covering it, but the U.S. government is still terrorizing its own people.

Claude about to drive his (its?) car off a cliff:

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

I'm on the record as not being a fan of Jimmy Fallon, but Stephen Colbert really brought out the best in him last night. Worth watching:

Kristi Noem's "Open to Work" LinkedIn Profile

Kristi Noem has committed the ultimate sin in an autocracy: She has drawn attention away from the Supreme Leader.

Yes, all of the other cabinet leaders also are incompetents, crooks, bullies and clowns, but she's made herself the story, so into the cornfield she will go.

I was about 6 when the nuns called my mother to a meeting at school because I was coloring windows of houses light blue and not yellow. "Windows are supposed to be yellow," they said.

Many teachers are excellent, but some people should not be teachers, or possibly even not allowed to have pets

Half of Americans now say 'Abolish ICE.' It's about time. | Opinion For the first time ever in YouGov polling, 50% of Americans now strongly or somewhat support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

50% of voters have now embraced "Abolish ICE," including a surprising 25% of Republicans. Keep pushing. All gas, no brakes.

Come to think of it, they also think Tylenol causes autism, so

We're in the dumbest possible timeline.

Brain-melted Republicans really think students are going to the high school nurse and getting gender affirming surgeries during study hall. I couldn't even get a Tylenol from ours without a note from my mom
